Featured Reviews

Prajwal Chougale - PeerSpot reviewer
SOC L2 Analyst at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
Centralized threat hunting has improved alert accuracy and simplifies incident investigations
I would say there are two areas for improvement: the reporting dashboard that provides insights or reports weekly or monthly lacks detailed information about how logs are being ingested. While the details are there, they could be more concise and easier to understand for any level of authority. The second area is alert tuning; compared to Microsoft Sentinel, Rapid7 InsightIDR provides fewer alerts with more static alert functionality and lacks dynamic alerting exposures. There could be improvements to learn from past alert activities for more dynamic alert configurations. These two areas are the main areas for improvement; everything else is good.
Roftiel Constantine - PeerSpot reviewer
Global Chief Information Security Officer at Barry-Wehmiller
Provides proactive threat remediation, reduces alert volume, and enhances incident response capabilities
During our pre-purchase evaluation of SentinelOne's EDR capabilities three years ago, we were consistently impressed by the positive relationships customers reported having with SentinelOne's engineers, sales teams, and customer success managers. These strong relationships, evident in the customers' unsolicited feedback, highlighted the "soft skills" and intangible qualities that SentinelOne possessed. This positive customer experience has been mirrored in our own interactions with them. Their responsiveness to our needs, particularly when addressing a couple of challenges we faced, has been excellent. They proactively scheduled weekly meetings to demonstrate their commitment to resolving our issues, a customer-centric approach I admire. SentinelOne's dedication to customer service, including their rapid technology updates and responsiveness to our suggestions, has been crucial to our success in protecting our organization. Their ability to quickly incorporate our needs into new releases is truly impressive and sets them apart. Overall, I highly recommend SentinelOne based on our positive interactions across all levels of their organization.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Great coverage of all systems within our network from endpoint to firewall."
"The alerting to drive investigations and remediation has been its most valuable feature, plus the ability to quickly search multiple logs makes investigations easier."
"Enables the use of honey pots, honey users, and honey files to monitor for suspicious patterns."
"It is a very stable solution."
"Rapid7's reporting is more robust than Tenable's."
"Integration with threat modeling from the Metasploit and InsightIDR repositories."
"The solution is easy to use, and the interface is intuitive."
"We were able to identify criminals attempting to login from China and put a stop on their IP locations."
"The biggest value for us is getting a much better picture of what our risks are."
"The effectiveness of their AI and behavioral analysis helps mitigate zero-day activities and detect new threats."
"The AI provides a futuristic ML model. That helps a lot when it comes to shifting security approaches and hep better forecast attacks."
"The AI-based detection, scanning, prevention and mitigation features are the most valuable features."
"SentinelOne stands out due to its AI capabilities, which lead to excellent prevention."
"The response is a valuable aspect of SentinelOne."
"Behind the scenes, SentinelOne has real people who evaluate problems and mark them as false positives. That's what I find most helpful."
"SentinelOne enhances our customers' risk management."
 

Cons

"I chose eight out of ten because of the analytical rules; they lack dynamic rules, and also due to the dashboard and reporting part."
"InsightIDR is only available in a cloud version. Some of our customers prefer an on-prem solution because they want to manage the security within their environment."
"One thing that springs to mind is easier API integration with ITSMs."
"Inability to get access to compliance reports within the solution."
"The dashboard is an area that could be simplified. For management, it should be clear and the files should be there."
"The APIs can be further improved in Rapid7."
"InsightIDR's integration with other solutions could be improved. Also, I'd like more control from the portal over what's happening on the endpoint side. For example, when I see an attack on an endpoint, I want to be able to stop it from the portal."
"The main problem lies in the processes within the client's operating systems."
"One area for improvement would be the self-healing nature of the agent."
"The root cause of automation could be better."
"The solution's query resolution time could be reduced further, and a faster resolution could be provided."
"We haven't received the expected support whenever we've had questions."
"A lot of those features came from an acquisition of a different company."
"The UI can be more user-friendly."
"Our engineers are dealing with issues to add exclusions to the antivirus for custom applications."
"Agent connectivity can be improved, as it is one aspect of the product with certain shortcomings."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a reasonably priced solution."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR's pricing is reasonable but we have challenges with the Minimum Order Quantity. It is not reasonable for customers who have less than one hundred devices. If they can reduce Minimum Order Quantity, it is good. You have to pay around 5000-6000 dollars per year for the product. The pricing includes maintenance and support costs."
"The solution has a mid-range price point in the market"
"​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
"Licensing is straightforward. If, for some reason, you don’t meet the minimum licensing requirements, there is a third-party managed service that can help."
"The team is very willing to work with companies. My suggestion is to call the Rapid7 sales department and see how they can help.​"
"The pricing of the solution depends on the user. But there is a yearly licensing cost."
"It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."
"Their pricing has been fair, especially in the current market, and they haven't excessively increased prices at renewal times like many vendors do."
"As a SentinelOne partner, we offer competitive pricing on comprehensive packages that include the SentinelOne license, our management services, and a proof-of-concept to ensure the technology meets your needs."
"Compared to competitors, it's well-priced for the quality offered, and I don't see anyone surpassing them in that regard."
"The pricing is a bit high."
"SentinelOne seemed to offer more while being priced lower than its competitors."
"Ideally, I would like SentinelOne to lower their prices a little bit."
"The cost of SentinelOne Singularity Identity is better than CrowdStrike."
"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing charges associated with the product...I think the prices associated with the product are okay and it is not too expensive."
